Nada believes that “ast is discovery…color is happiness”, and watercolor is a “fresh and spontaneous medium.” She feels that through observation and exploration, art becomes a growing, learning, and changing experience. “Inspiration, enthusiasm, and creative imagination are the delight of artistic freedom.” “Skills in using color relationships are the delight of artistic freedom.” Skills in using color relationships, shape, contracts, harmony, and composition result in the reflection of one’s own rewarding experience.” Art is energy. Art is a constant surprise.
